- Example 1 ATRA augments BCMA surface expression on myeloma cell lines
- the inventors determined BCMA expression on three commonly utilized myeloma cell lines by flow cytometry and found graded BCMA expression with MM.1S being BCMA
- BCMA expression had increased in all three myeloma cell lines, and that the hierarchy in BCMA expression had remained unchanged: MM.1S (deltaMFI: 2,709) ⁇ OPM-2 (deltaMFI: 7,358) ⁇ NCI-H929 (deltaMFI: 13,891) (Fig. 1).
- the inventors normalized the deltaMFI obtained at baseline to 1 and thus, the relative increase in BCMA expression after ATRA treatment was 1.9-fold in MM.1S (Fig. 2) and OPM-2 myeloma cells (Fig. 2), and 1.7-fold in NCI-H929 myeloma cells (Fig. 2).
- BCMA expression Upon discontinuation of ATRA treatment, BCMA expression returned to baseline levels within 72 hours in all three myeloma cell lines, but increased again with the same amplitude when ATRA treatment was recommenced (Fig. 4).
- the increase of BCMA surface molecules on MM.1S cells after ATRA treatment was additionally confirmed by single-molecule sensitive superresolution microscopy using direct Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy dSTORM (Fig. 3). The inventors hypothesized that ATRA induces epigenetic changes in myeloma cells that lead to increased BCMA gene expression and confirmed by qPCR that this was indeed the case.
- Example 2 ATRA up-regulates BCMA surface expression on primary myeloma cells
- Patients in the R/R cohort had previously received treatment with immunomodulatory drugs and/or proteasome inhibitors, none of the patients had received anti-BCMA therapy.
- Example 3 ATRA in combination with GSI further increases BCMA expression on myeloma cells lines
- GSI can induce an increase in BCMA expression on myeloma cells, as they prevent shedding of BCMA molecules from the cell surface 40 .
- the inventors determined whether the combination of ATRA and GSI can further increase BCMA expression on myeloma cells and if it can further improve the anti-myeloma reactivity of BCMA-CAR T-cells beyond the effect of ATRA alone.
- the combination of both drugs resulted in higher BCMA expression than the single use of one of the two drugs alone (Fig. 10).
- ATRA treatment had no negative effect on the viability of BCMA-CAR T-cells (Fig. 11), and did not diminish expression of the EGFRt_BCMA-CAR transgene (Fig. 12).
- BCMA-CAR T-cells could be further enhanced when the MM.1 S target cells were previously treated with a combination of ATRA and GSI (Fig. 13). Similar results were obtained for OPM-2 cells (Fig. 14). Additionally, BCMA-CAR T-cells showed enhanced proliferative capacity (Fig. 15) and cytokine release (Fig. 16), when the target cells were pretreated with ATRA alone or a combination of ATRA and GSI.
- BCMA-targeting immunotherapies can benefit not only from treatment with ATRA alone, but even more from a combination treatment with GSI and ATRA.
- Example 5 sBCMA does not compromise BCMA-CAR T-cell function against ATRA-treated myeloma cells It is well established that the extracellular portion of membrane-bound BCMA can be shed from myeloma cells to release a shorter, soluble BCMA (sBCMA) protein isoform 26 ’ 27 .
- the inventors measured sBCMA and in the supernatants of MM.1S and OPM-2 myeloma cells that had been treated with ATRA for 72 hours and obtained similar values as in the corresponding non-treated cell lines (Fig. 19).
- the concentration of sBCMA in conditioned medium of ATRA-treated or untreated MM.1S and OPM-2 myeloma cells was higher than in serum from myeloma patients (Fig. 20).
- the inventors analyzed the cytolytic activity of BCMA-CAR T-cells in fresh or sBCMA-containing medium and observed similarly potent cytolytic activity against MM.1S or K562/BCMA target cells at all effector to target cell ratios and time points (Fig. 21).
- BCMA-CAR therapy is applicable for both disease conditions.
- BCMA-CAR T-cells 40 Enhanced anti-myeloma efficacy of BCMA-CAR T-cells after BCMA upregulation by ATRA treatment was confirmed. This synergistic effect between CAR T-cell therapy and ATRA could be used as strategy to counteract the outgrowth of antigen-low tumor cell clones, sustaining the therapeutic efficacy of BCMA-CAR T-cells. Furthermore, patients with low BCMA baseline expression could be treated with ATRA and then successfully with BCMA-CAR T-cells. Additionally, BCMA expression on tumor cells could be further enhanced by combining ATRA with GSI administration.
- the inventors analyzed serum samples from MM patients for sBCMA and found a correlation between the concentration of soluble BCMA and the disease status. In line with previous reports, the serum sBCMA levels were higher among patients with progressive disease than in patients with a therapeutic response to immunomodulatory or proteasome inhibitor therapy, or low tumor burden 27 .
- the inventors wanted to know whether sBCMA could abrogate the anti-myeloma function of these BCMA-CAR T-cells in principle. Therefore, they tested CAR T-cell functionality in the presence of up to 150 ng/ml sBCMA, which is about ten times the average concentration the inventors observed in the serum of patients with progressive disease. Even with this high concentration the inventors could not find sBCMA having a negative impact on the cytolytic activity of these BCMA-CAR T-cells.
- retinoids such as ATRA can be used synergistically with BCMA-CAR T-cells in a clinical setting to increase response rates and extend duration of responses in ND and R/R myeloma.
- the use of a well-chosen CAR construct might reduce negative impacts by sBCMA molecules in the serum of patients.
- the effect of BCMA up-regulation and BCMA-CAR T-cell targeting is even greater when not only using ATRA, but a combination of ATRA and GSI.
- the immunotherapeutic agent and retinoids as used according to the invention can be industrially manufactured and sold as products for the claimed methods and uses (e.g. for treating a cancer as defined herein), in accordance with known standards for the manufacture of pharmaceutical and diagnostic products. Accordingly, the present invention is industrially applicable.

Description
Combination Therapy of ATRA or other Retinoids with Immunotherapeutic Agents binding to BCMA
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to combination therapies of ATRA and other retinoids with immunotherapeutic agents binding to BCMA such as CAR-T cells capable of binding to BCMA, antibodies capable of binding to BCMA or antibody fragments capable of binding to BCMA. According to the invention, these combination therapies can be advantageously applied to the treatment of cancers such as multiple myeloma and can also be applied to the treatment of antibody-mediated autoimmune diseases. The combination therapies in the treatment of cancers according to the present invention are advantageous, for instance, because retinoids such as ATRA can upregulate BCMA mRNA levels as well as BCMA protein levels in cancer cells, such that the cancer cells can be targeted more effectively by immunotherapeutic anticancer agents capable of binding to BCMA such as CAR-T cells capable of binding to BCMA, antibodies capable of binding to BCMA or antibody fragments capable of binding to BCMA. Additionally, ATRA and other retinoids can be combined with gamma-secretase inhibitors and BCMA-targeting immunotherapeutic agents, leading to an even further increased BCMA expression on the target cells and therefore, even better immunotherapeutic response.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a largely incurable hematologic disease characterized by uncontrolled clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow1·2. Despite recent approval of several new therapeutics myeloma is still considered of not being curable. The majority of patients becomes refractory or has to discontinue treatment due to toxicity and ultimately succumbs to the disease3 5.
Since CAR T-cells have been shown to induce durable complete remissions in other advanced hematologic malignancies like acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), significant efforts are underway to develop CAR-based therapies for MM6 10. Recently, B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) has increasingly drawn attention as a possible target antigen for MM treatment2· 11· 12. BCMA is a tumor necrosis family receptor (TNFR) that is expressed by MM cells. It is also found on some healthy hematopoietic cells, such as plasma cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells, but not on cells from healthy solid tissues. The favorable expression profile has fostered the development of a remarkable armamentarium of BCMA-specific immunotherapies including CAR T cell therapies13 19. In recent phase I/ll clinical trials BCMA-CAR T-cells achieved partial and complete responses in fractions of MM patients16· 19.
Retinoic acids can influence gene expression and protein production of cells20. The use of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) has been widely investigated as treatment for some cancer types and it was shown, that it can induce major changes in post-translational modifications such as histone acetylation in tumor cells21 24. Treatment with ATRA also induces epigenetic changes in MM cells, leading to enhanced expression of CD38 and subsequently enhanced efficacy of the CD38-targeting antibody daratumumab22’ 25.
Administration of gamma-secretase inhibitors (GSI) can also increase BCMA expression on MM cells, by blocking BCMA cleavage by the ubiquitous multi-subunit y-secretase complex, leading to improved MM cell recognition by BCMA-CAR-T cells40.
Prior to the present invention, there remained a need in the art for more effective cancer therapies including therapies for multiple myeloma.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The inventors have investigated if epigenetic changes induced by ATRA influence the BCMA surface expression and the release of soluble BCMA (BCMAs) molecules by cancer cells and in particular by MM cells. Furthermore, it was analyzed if these ATRA-induced changes also affect the efficacy of BCMA-CAR T-cells.
B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is preferentially expressed by B lineage cells, including multiple myeloma (MM) cells. Due to its favorable expression pattern it represents a promising target for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapy. Clinical trials with BCMA-CAR T-cells are currently running and achieved first encouraging results. However, there are several therapeutic limitations, such as low or non-uniform BCMA expression, as well as tumor relapse after antigen-loss or down-regulation. To overcome these hurdles, the inventors aimed to increase overall BCMA expression on cancer cells such as MM cells.
The inventors investigated the potential of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) to up-regulate BCMA on MM cells, thereby enhancing the performance of BCMA-specific CAR T-cells. By using quantitative RT-PCR and flow cytometry, it was observed that co-incubation with the retinoid ATRA can induce a significant increase of BCMA RNA levels and BCMA surface expression on primary MM cells and myeloma cell lines.
Importantly, BCMA-specific CAR T-cells showed enhanced recognition and lysis of target cell lines, when these were pretreated with ATRA. Cytokine release and proliferation of BCMA-CAR T-cells were enhanced after stimulation with ATRA-treated target cells in comparison to untreated target cells. Even in MM1.S/NSG mice, BCMA was up-regulated on the surface of tumor cells when the animals were
injected with ATRA for several days. A combinatorial treatment with ATRA and BCMA-specific CAR T- cells led to a distinct and prolonged decline of tumor mass in comparison to single agent treatment.
In addition it was shown, that the effect of BCMA up-regulation on target cell lines can be further enhanced by combining ATRA with gamma secretase inhibitors (GSI). By combining the administration of both drugs, the efficiency of BCMA-CAR T-cells was increased even further in vitro and in vivo. Thus, the combined application of the two agents GSI and ATRA leads to an even greater effect regarding BCMA up-regulation and recognition by BCMA-CAR-T cells.
According to the invention, retinoids such as ATRA can be used to enhance BCMA-targeting immunotherapies, e.g., by increasing the BCMA baseline expression on tumor cells and by keeping it at a high level during the therapy.
Although the retinoid ATRA led to enhanced expression of BCMA on the surface of myeloma cells, no increase in shed soluble BCMA (sBCMA) was found in supernatants of ATRA-treated cells. This was an unexpected favorable effect of the retinoid ATRA, because 1) sBCMA is constantly found in the serum of myeloma patients and was thus expected to be increased upon treatment with ATRA, and because 2) an increase in sBCMA should be avoided because it may interfere with and inhibit the efficacy of BCMA- directed anticancer therapies.
Nevertheless, the inventors confirmed that the anti-MM reactivity of their BCMA CAR is not inhibited in the presence of high concentrations of sBCMA that may occur at a later time point of ATRA treatment and which is constantly found in the serum of myeloma patients.
According to the invention, the advantageous upregulation of BCMA can not only be achieved with ATRA but can also be achieved with other retinoids. These retinoids are considered to share the same more of action (e.g. as specific epigenetic modulators) and can therefore be used in accordance with the present invention.
The studies made by the inventors illustrate the advantageous effects of combining retinoids such as ATRA and immunotherapeutic agents capable of binding to BCMA such as BCMA-CAR T-cells for cancer treatment such as the treatment of myeloma.
Further, according to the invention, such combination therapies can also be advantageously applied to the treatment of antibody-mediated autoimmune diseases. Antibodies are secreted by B cells, mostly by plasma cells which are differentiated B cells. Autoantibodies are antibodies binding to the individual’s own proteins and can induce autoimmune diseases (such as lupus erythematosus). Therefore, B cells and especially plasma cells can act as therapeutic targets for treatment of such autoimmune diseases. Several monoclonal antibodies against CD19, CD20 and CD22 have already been used to target
multiple B cell subtypes. The CD20-targeting antibody Rituximab is already approved for use in rheumatoid arthritis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis. [K Hofmann, et. al, Front. Immunol., 23 April 2018, Targeting B Cells and Plasma Cells in Autoimmune Diseases, https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2018.00835; A. Rubbert-Roth, et. al Efficacy and safety of various repeat treatment dosing regimens of rituximab in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis: results of a Phase III randomized study (MIRROR), Rheumatology, Volume 49, Issue 9, September 2010, Pages 1683-1693, https://doi.Org/10.1093/rheumatology/keq116].
B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is preferentially expressed by B lineage cells including plasma cells. Therefore, according to the invention, antibody-mediated autoimmune diseases can also be treated with the immunotherapeutic agents capable of binding to BCMA according to the invention. Here, administration of an upregulator of BCMA mRNA levels according to the invention, e.g. a retinoid according to the invention, is expected to enhance the efficiency of the treatment. Instead of immunotherapeutic agents capable of binding to BCMA according to the invention, immunotherapeutic agents comprising a gene therapy vector encoding a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) capable of binding to BCMA, said gene therapy vector being a gene therapy vector for the in vivo expression of said CAR in immune cells, can also be used in accordance with the invention.

Definitions and Embodiments
Unless otherwise defined below, the terms used in the present invention shall be understood in accordance with the common meaning known to the person skilled in the art.
Each publication, patent application, patent, and other reference cited herein is incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes to the extent that it is not inconsistent with the present invention. References are indicated by their reference numbers and their corresponding reference details which are provided in the “references” section.
The terms “KQ” or “KQ value” relate to the equilibrium dissociation constant as known in the art. In the context of the present invention, these terms can relate to the equilibrium dissociation constant of an immunotherapeutic agent or anticancer agent capable of binding to BCMA (e.g. a CAR T-cell or an antibody) with respect to the antigen of interest (i.e. BCMA). The equilibrium dissociation constant is a measure of the propensity of a complex (e.g. an antigen-targeting agent complex) to reversibly dissociate into its components (e.g. the antigen and the targeting agent). Methods to determine KQ values are known in art.
The chimeric antigen receptor is capable of binding to one or more antigens, preferably cancer antigens, more preferably cancer cell surface antigens. In a preferred embodiment, the chimeric antigen receptor
is capable of binding to the extracellular domain of a cancer antigen. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the chimeric antigen receptor is capable of binding to the extracellular domain of BCMA and is even more preferably a chimeric antigen receptor encoded by the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 and/or a chimeric antigen receptor having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 13.
In accordance with the invention, immune cells such as T cells, NK cells or PBMCs can be isolated from a patient, genetically modified (e.g. transduced) with a gene transfer vector encoding a chimeric antigen receptor according to the invention and administered to the patient in accordance with the methods and uses of the invention. In a preferred embodiment, the T cells are CD8+ T cells or CD4+ T cells. Alternatively, allogenic immune cells such as T cells, NK cells or PBMCs, from donors, preferably healthy donors, can be used. They can be genetically modified (e.g. transduced) with a gene transfer vector encoding a chimeric antigen receptor according to the invention and administered to the patient in accordance with the methods and uses of the invention. In a preferred embodiment, the T cells are CD8+T cells or CD4+T cells.
CAR NK cell therapy has been described, for instance, in [Liu E, et.al. Use of CAR-Transduced Natural Killer Cells in CD19-Positive Lymphoid Tumors. N Engl J Med. 2020 Feb 6;382(6):545-553. doi: 10.1056/NE JMoal 910607] .
For CAR T cell therapy, T cells are usually manipulated and expanded ex vivo. However, in accordance with the invention, there is also the option to conduct gene transfer in vivo. One way to program immune cells such as T cells within the body is the gene transfer with DNA-carrying nanoparticles. This has, for instance, been described by Smith et al. [T.T. Smith, et. al, In situ programming of leukaemia-specific T cells using synthetic DNA nanocarriers, Nat Nanotechnol. 2017 Aug; 12(8): 813-820. Published online 2017 Apr 17. doi: 10.1038/nnano.2017.57], A second strategy is the in vivo CAR immune cell (e.g. CAR T cell) generation with viral vectors. This has, for instance, been described by Agarwal et al. [Agarwal S, et. al, Oncoimmunology. 2019 Oct 10;8(12):e1671761. In vivo generated human CAR T cells eradicate tumor cells, doi: 10.1080/2162402X.2019.1671761],
“Immune cells” as used in the invention are not particularly limited and include, for example, T cells, NK cells or PBMCs. In a preferred embodiment, the T cells are CD8+T cells or CD4+T cells.
The term “antibody” as used herein refers to any functional antibody that is capable of specific binding to the antigen of interest. Without particular limitation, the term antibody encompasses antibodies from any appropriate source species, including avian such as chicken and mammalian such as mouse, goat, nonhuman primate and human. Preferably, the antibody is a humanized or human antibody. Humanized
antibodies are antibodies which contain human sequences and a minor portion of non-human sequences which confer binding specificity to an antigen of interest (e.g. BCMA). The antibody is preferably a monoclonal antibody which can be prepared by methods well-known in the art. The term antibody encompasses an lgG-1, -2, -3, or -4, IgE, IgA, IgM, or IgD isotype antibody. The term antibody encompasses monomeric antibodies (such as IgD, IgE, IgG) or oligomeric antibodies (such as IgA or IgM). The term antibody also encompasses - without particular limitations - isolated antibodies and modified antibodies such as genetically engineered antibodies, e.g. chimeric antibodies or bispecific antibodies, or antibody conjugates with a drug such as an anticancer drug or a cytotoxic drug. A preferred bispecific antibody capable of binding to BCMA in accordance with the invention can be a T- cell engager such as a BiTE (Bi-specific T-cell engager), e.g. a CD3xBCMA BiTE, or a DART (dualaffinity re-targeting proteins). An “antibody” (e.g. a monoclonal antibody) or “a fragment thereof as described herein may have been derivatized or be linked to a different molecule. For example, molecules that may be linked to the antibody are other proteins (e.g. other antibodies), a molecular label (e.g. a fluorescent, luminescent, colored or radioactive molecule), a pharmaceutical and/or a toxic agent. The antibody or antigen-binding portion may be linked directly (e.g. in form of a fusion between two proteins), or via a linker molecule (e.g. any suitable type of chemical linker known in the art).
An antibody fragment or fragment of an antibody capable of binding to BCMA as used herein refers to a portion of an antibody that retains the capability of the antibody to specifically bind to the BCMA antigen. This capability can, for instance, be determined by determining the capability of the antigen-binding portion to compete with the antibody for specific binding to the antigen by methods known in the art. Without particular limitation, the antibody fragment can be produced by any suitable method known in the art, including recombinant DNA methods and preparation by chemical or enzymatic fragmentation of antibodies. Antibody fragments may be Fab fragments, F(ab’) fragments, F(ab’)2 fragments, single chain antibodies (scFv), single-domain antibodies, diabodies or any other portion(s) of the antibody that retain the capability of the antibody to specifically bind to the antigen.
Terms such as “treatment of cancer” or “treating cancer” or “cancer therapy” or “cancer immunotherapy” according to the present invention refer to a therapeutic treatment. An assessment of whether or not a therapeutic treatment works can, for instance, be made by assessing whether the treatment inhibits cancer growth in the treated patient or patients. Preferably, the inhibition is statistically significant as assessed by appropriate statistical tests which are known in the art. Inhibition of cancer growth may be assessed by comparing cancer growth in a group of patients treated in accordance with the present invention to a control group of untreated patients, or by comparing a group of patients that receive a standard cancer treatment of the art plus a treatment according to the invention with a control group of
patients that only receive a standard cancer treatment of the art. Such studies for assessing the inhibition of cancer growth are designed in accordance with accepted standards for clinical studies, e.g. double-blinded, randomized studies with sufficient statistical power. The term “treating cancer” includes an inhibition of cancer growth where the cancer growth is inhibited partially (i.e. where the cancer growth in the patient is delayed compared to the control group of patients), an inhibition where the cancer growth is inhibited completely (i.e. where the cancer growth in the patient is stopped), and an inhibition where cancer growth is reversed (i.e. the cancer shrinks). An assessment of whether or not a therapeutic treatment works can be made based on known clinical indicators of cancer progression. In the context of cancers which do not form solid tumors, cancer growth may be assessed by known methods such as methods based on a counting of the cancer cells.
A “treatment of cancer” or “treating cancer” or “cancer therapy” or “cancer immunotherapy” as used in accordance with the present invention is preferably a treatment of the cancer itself. Alternatively, a “treatment of cancer” or “treating cancer” or “cancer therapy” or “cancer immunotherapy” in accordance with the invention can be a treatment of a precancerous condition which is preferably selected from multiple myeloma precursor states such as MGUS (Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance) and smoldering multiple myeloma.
A treatment of cancer according to the present invention does not exclude that additional or secondary therapeutic benefits also occur in patients, such as a treatment of amyloidosis, e.g. an amyloidosis associated with multiple myeloma.
The treatment of cancer according to the invention can be a first-line therapy, a second-line therapy, a third-line therapy, or a fourth-line therapy. The treatment can also be a therapy that is beyond fourth-line therapy. The meaning of these terms is known in the art and in accordance with the terminology that is commonly used by the US National Cancer Institute.
The method in accordance with the invention such as the method of cancer immunotherapy or the method of treating cancer by immunotherapy may, in one embodiment, be a method wherein in the method, an epigenetic modulator is also to be administered. Epigenetic modulators in accordance with the invention can be BET inhibitors, histone acetyltransferase inhibitors, histone deacetylase inhibitors, or DNA methyltransferase inhibitors and are preferably selected from the group consisting of valproic acid, butyric acid, panobinostat lactate, belinostat, vorinostat, dacinostat, entinostat, mocetinostat, romidepsin, and ricolinostat.
The term “capable of binding” as used herein refers to the capability to form a complex with a molecule that is to be bound (e.g. BCMA). Binding typically occurs non-covalently by intermolecular forces, such
as ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds and Van der Waals forces and is typically reversible. Various methods and assays to determine binding capability are known in the art. Binding is usually a binding with high affinity, wherein the affinity as measured in KQ values is preferably is less than 1 mM, more preferably less than 100 nM, even more preferably less than 10 nM, even more preferably less than 1 nM, even more preferably less than 100 pM, even more preferably less than 10 pM, even more preferably less than 1 pM.
As used herein, each occurrence of terms such as “comprising” or “comprises” may optionally be substituted with “consisting of or “consists of”.
A “combination” according to the invention is not limited to a particular mode of administration. The immunotherapeutic agent or anticancer agent capable of binding to BCMA and the upregulator of BCMA mRNA levels can, for example, be administered separately but at the same time, or in one composition and at the same time, or they can be administered separately and at separate time points.
Whether a substance is an upregulator of BCMA mRNA levels can be determined by methods known in the art, e.g. by measuring BCMA mRNA levels in the cells of interest, e.g. in the cancer cells, by methods such as quantitative RT-PCR, e.g. as described herein in the section “Quantitation of BCMA mRNA levels”.
Compositions and formulations in accordance with the present invention, which contain the immunotherapeutic anticancer agent capable of binding to BCMA and/or the upregulator of BCMA mRNA levels, are prepared in accordance with known standards for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions and formulations. For instance, the compositions and formulations are prepared in a way that they can be stored and administered appropriately, e.g. by using pharmaceutically acceptable components such as carriers, excipients or stabilizers. Such pharmaceutically acceptable components are not toxic in the amounts used when administering the pharmaceutical composition or formulation to a patient. The pharmaceutical acceptable components added to the pharmaceutical compositions or formulations can be selected based on the chemical nature of the active agents (e.g. the immunotherapeutic anticancer agent capable of binding to BCMA and/or the upregulator of BCMA mRNA levels), the particular intended use of the pharmaceutical compositions and the route of administration. It is understood that in accordance with the invention, the compositions or formulations are suitable for administration to humans.
A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, including any suitable diluent or, can be used herein as known in the art. As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable” means being approved by a regulatory agency of the Federal or a state government or listed in the U.S. Pharmacopia, European Pharmacopia
or other generally recognized pharmacopia for use in mammals, and more particularly in humans. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include, but are not limited to, saline, buffered saline, dextrose, water, glycerol, sterile isotonic aqueous buffer, and combinations thereof. It will be understood that the formulation will be appropriately adapted to suit the mode of administration.
EXAMPLES
The present invention is exemplified by the following non-limiting examples.
The materials and methods used in the present examples were as follows:
Human subjects
Peripheral blood and bone marrow samples were obtained from healthy donors and myeloma patients after written informed consent to participate in research protocols approved by the Institutional Review Boards of the University of Wiirzburg.
Cell lines
The K562, OPM-2, NCI-H929 and MM.1S cell lines were obtained from the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (DSMZ, Braunschweig, Germany). K562, OPM-2 and MM.1S cell lines were modified with firefly-luciferase_GFP by lentiviral transduction. K562 expressing full-length human BCMA was generated by transducing the K562-ffluc cell line with a BCMA-encoding lentiviral vector.
Flow cytometry
Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMC) were stained with anti-CD38 and anti-CD138 mAbs (Biolegend, Koblenz, Germany) to identify malignant plasma cells and anti-BCMA mAb (BioLegend; Clone: 19F2) or isotype control (Biolegend; mouse lgG2a,K) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Flow cytometry was done on a Canto II (BD, Heidelberg, Germany) and data analyzed using FlowJo software (TreeStar, Ashland, OR).
ATRA-treatment of myeloma cells
Myeloma cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 (Gibco, Darmstadt, Germany) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum at 1x106 cells/ml. ATRA (Sigma-Aldrich, Darmstadt, Germany) was reconstituted in dimethyl sulfoxide and added to the medium to a final concentration of 25, 50 or 100 nM.
In vitro T-cell functional assays
Cytolytic activity was analyzed in a bioluminescence-based assay using firefly-luciferase (ffluc)- transduced target cells. Proliferation was measured by dilution of CFSE proliferation dye by flow cytometry. Therefore, CFSE-labeled CAR T-cells were incubated with target cells for 72 h at a 4:1 effector to target cell ratio. IFNy and IL-2 were measured by ELISA (Biolegend, Koblenz, Germany) in supernatants obtained after a 20 hour co-culture of T-cells with target cells (effectontarget ratio=4:1).
Quantitation of BCMA mRNA levels
Total RNAs were extracted with RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Reverse transcription -quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis of BCMA was performed with 1 g of total RNA and Superscript™ II Reverse Transcriptase (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc Massachusetts). The quality and integrity of the RNA was verified by a Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). The primer sequences used were as follows: BCMA forward primer, 5'-TGT TCT TCT AAT ACT CCT CCT CT-3' (SEQ ID NO: 25) and reverse primer, 5'-AAC TCG TCC TTT AAT GGT TC-3' (SEQ ID NO: 26). Primers specific for b-actin were used as a control (forward, 5'-TCC ATC ATG AAG TGT GAC GT-3' (SEQ ID NO: 27) and reverse, 5'-GAG CAA TGATCTTGATCT TCA T-3' (SEQ ID NO: 28)). RT-qPCR was performed in a 7900HT Real-time PCR System (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc Massachusetts) using Quantitec SYBR green Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) in a 7900 FIT Fast Real Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). PCR conditions consisted of the following: 95°C for 3 min for denaturation; 95°C for 30 sec for annealing; and 62°C for 40 sec for extension, for 40 cycles. The threshold cycle for each sample was selected from the linear range and converted to a starting quantity by interpolation from a standard curve generated on the same plate for each set of primers. The BCMA messenger (m) RNA levels were normalized for each well to the b-actin mRNA levels using the 2-MCq method (21).
ATRA up-regulates BCMA expression on MM.1S in vivo
The University of Wiirzburg Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee approved all mouse experiments. Six- to eight-week old female NSG (NOD-scid IL2rynull) mice were obtained from Charles River and inoculated by tail vein injection with 2x106 MM.1S/ffluc_GFP at day 0 and randomly allocated to ATRA-treatment and control group. ATRA (Sigma Aldrich, Darmstadt, Germany) was formulated in corn oil and administered by intraperitoneal (i.p) injection (30 mg/kg) for four days, starting twelve days after tumor inoculation. At the experiment end point on day 16, bone marrow samples of these mice were analyzed to study BCMA expression on MM.1S by a Canto II (BD, Heidelberg, Germany) and data analyzed using FlowJo software (TreeStar, Ashland, OR).
In vivo experiment with combined ATRA and GSI
To examine the combinatorial treatment with BCMA-CAR T-cells, ATRA and GSI female NSG (NOD- scid IL2rynull) mice were inoculated by tail vein injection with 2x106 MM.1S/ffluc_GFP on day 0 and randomly allocated to treatment and control groups. On day 14, mice received a single dose of 1 c 106 T-cells (i.e., 0.5x106 CD4+ and 0.5x106 CD8+) by tail vein injection. ATRA (Sigma Aldrich, Darmstadt, Germany) was diluted in DMSO, formulated in PEG300, Tween80 and saline and administered by intraperitoneal injection (i.p) at a dose of 30 mg/kg from Monday to Friday for 16 days, starting twelve days after tumor inoculation. GSI LY3039478 (Med Chem Express, NJ 08852, USA) was diluted in
DMSO, formulated in PEG300, Tween80 and saline and administered by intraperitoneal injection (i.p) at a dose of 1 mg/kg Monday, Wednesday and Friday for 16 days, starting twelve days after tumor inoculation. Bioluminescence imaging was performed on an IVIS Lumina (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA) following i.p injection of D-luciferin (0.3mg/g body weight) (Biosynth, Staad, Switzerland), and data was analyzed using Living Image software (Perkin Elmer).
Statistical analyses
Statistical analyses were performed using Prism software v6.07 (GraphPad, San Diego, California). Unpaired t-tests were used to analyze data obtained from in vitro and in vivo experiments. P- values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Example 1 : ATRA augments BCMA surface expression on myeloma cell lines
The inventors determined BCMA expression on three commonly utilized myeloma cell lines by flow cytometry and found graded BCMA expression with MM.1S being BCMA|0W (deltaMFI: 1,098), OPM-2 being BCMA“diate (deltaMFI: 3,558) and NCI-H929 being BCMAh'9h (deltaMFI: 9,883) (Fig. 1). Then, the inventors treated each myeloma cell line with ATRA for 72 hours and re-examined BCMA expression by flow cytometry. The inventors found that BCMA expression had increased in all three myeloma cell lines, and that the hierarchy in BCMA expression had remained unchanged: MM.1S (deltaMFI: 2,709) < OPM-2 (deltaMFI: 7,358) < NCI-H929 (deltaMFI: 13,891) (Fig. 1). The inventors normalized the deltaMFI obtained at baseline to 1 and thus, the relative increase in BCMA expression after ATRA treatment was 1.9-fold in MM.1S (Fig. 2) and OPM-2 myeloma cells (Fig. 2), and 1.7-fold in NCI-H929 myeloma cells (Fig. 2). Upon discontinuation of ATRA treatment, BCMA expression returned to baseline levels within 72 hours in all three myeloma cell lines, but increased again with the same amplitude when ATRA treatment was recommenced (Fig. 4). The increase of BCMA surface molecules on MM.1S cells after ATRA treatment was additionally confirmed by single-molecule sensitive superresolution microscopy using direct Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy dSTORM (Fig. 3). The inventors hypothesized that ATRA induces epigenetic changes in myeloma cells that lead to increased BCMA gene expression and confirmed by qPCR that this was indeed the case. On example of MM.1S and OPM-2, the relative increase in BCMA transcripts after 50 nM ATRA treatment was 1.8-fold and 2.1 -fold, respectively (Fig. 5). Taken together, these data show that treatment with ATRA leads to increased expression of BCMA RNA and BCMA protein on the surface of MM.1S, OPM-2 and NCI- H929 myeloma cells.
Example 2: ATRA up-regulates BCMA surface expression on primary myeloma cells
To corroborate their findings in primary myeloma cells, the inventors obtained bone marrow from patients with newly diagnosed (ND, n=7) and relapsed/refractory (R/R, n=11) myeloma. Patients in the R/R cohort had previously received treatment with immunomodulatory drugs and/or proteasome inhibitors, none of the patients had received anti-BCMA therapy. The inventors analyzed purified CD38+CD138+ malignant plasma cells by flow cytometry and found variable BCMA expression as assessed by deltaMFI between patients (deltaMFIl0W = 94; deltaMFIh'9h = 2,650). There was no significant difference in BCMA expression on myeloma cells from ND and R/R patients (Fig. 6). From n=5 patients there was a sufficient number of primary myeloma cells to perform ATRA treatment and sequential analysis of BCMA expression (Fig. 7). Amongst these 5 patients, there were 3 ND and 2 R/R patients, and they evenly covered the spectrum of low to high BCMA expression determined above. In each of these 5 patient samples, the inventors detected a substantial increase in BCMA expression by flow cytometry after treatment with ATRA for 72 hours. A significant increase could be observed with ATRA used at all dose levels (100 nM P = 0.04, 50 nM P = 0.006 and 25 nM P = 0.04) (Fig. 8). The increase in deltaMFI for BCMA expression that the inventors observed with primary myeloma cells after 100 nM ATRA treatment was on average 1.6X on average (1.23 fold - 2.23 fold). Also with primary myeloma cells, BCMA expression declined to baseline levels once exposure to ATRA was discontinued, and increased again upon re-exposure to the drug (Fig. 9). Taken together, these data show that ATRA treatment augments BCMA surface expression on primary myeloma cells in patients with ND and R/R disease.
Example 3: ATRA in combination with GSI further increases BCMA expression on myeloma cells lines
GSI can induce an increase in BCMA expression on myeloma cells, as they prevent shedding of BCMA molecules from the cell surface40. The inventors determined whether the combination of ATRA and GSI can further increase BCMA expression on myeloma cells and if it can further improve the anti-myeloma reactivity of BCMA-CAR T-cells beyond the effect of ATRA alone. Treatment of MM.1S and OPM-2 cells with 100 nM ATRA and 0.01 mM GSI LY3039478 for 72h led to a significant increase in BCMA expression. The combination of both drugs resulted in higher BCMA expression than the single use of one of the two drugs alone (Fig. 10).
Example 4: BCMA-CAR T-cells confer enhanced reactivity against ATRA-treated myeloma cells
The inventors sought to determine whether the increase in BCMA expression that is induced by ATRA treatment, affected the anti-myeloma reactivity of BCMA-CAR T-cells. First, the inventors confirmed that ATRA treatment had no negative effect on the viability of BCMA-CAR T-cells (Fig. 11), and did not diminish expression of the EGFRt_BCMA-CAR transgene (Fig. 12). Then, the inventors tested the
cytolytic activity of BCMA-CAR T-cells and found superior cytolysis of ATRA-treated MM.1S myeloma cells compared to non-treated MM.1S myeloma cells (Fig. 13). Furthermore, the cyotolytic effect of BCMA-CAR T-cells could be further enhanced when the MM.1 S target cells were previously treated with a combination of ATRA and GSI (Fig. 13). Similar results were obtained for OPM-2 cells (Fig. 14). Additionally, BCMA-CAR T-cells showed enhanced proliferative capacity (Fig. 15) and cytokine release (Fig. 16), when the target cells were pretreated with ATRA alone or a combination of ATRA and GSI.
This encouraged experiments in a murine xenograft model of myeloma (NSG/MM1.S). In a first set of experiments, n=6 mice were inoculated with MM1.S cells (2x106 cells given i.v. by tail vein injection) for 12 days to establish systemic myeloma, and then administered a 4-day treatment course with either ATRA (n=3 mice; 30 mg/kg given i.p. every day) or solvent control (n=3 mice). The following day, mice were sacrificed, MM.1S myeloma cells were isolated from bone marrow and BCMA expression analyzed by flow cytometry. Significantly higher BCMA expression was found on MM.1S myeloma cells from mice that had received ATRA compared to control mice (P = 0.002, Fig. 17). The in vivo upregulation of BCMA after GSI treatment was shown by Pont et.al. in 201940.
In a second MM.1S/NSG mouse experiment, the anti-myeloma efficacy of a suboptimal dose of BCMA- CAR T-cells (1x106 total CAR-T cells, CD8:CD4 at 1 :1 ratio, given i.v. by tail vein injection on day 14) was investigated in combination with ATRA alone, GSI alone or a combination of both drugs. 30 mg/kg of ATRA was administrated i.p. twelve times within 16 days, starting twelve days after tumor inoculation. 1 mg/kg GSI was administrated i.p. seven times within the same time span (day 12 to day 28 after tumor inoculation).
During the first days after CAR T-cell injection, bioluminescence imaging decreased in all mice groups. Flowever, the mice which just received CAR-T cells relapsed within two weeks after the treatment. Mice treated with a combination of ATRA and BCMA-CAR T-cells relapsed much slower in comparison (Fig. 18). Furthermore, bioluminescence imaging revealed a more distinct and more stable tumor reduction, when mice were treated with a combination of CAR T-cells, ATRA and GSI. These mice achieved and remained in complete remission during the follow-up period (Fig. 18)
In aggregate, these data show that ATRA elevates BCMA expression on myeloma cells in vivo, and augments the anti-myeloma reactivity of BCMA-CAR T-cells. Additionally, BCMA-targeting immunotherapies can benefit not only from treatment with ATRA alone, but even more from a combination treatment with GSI and ATRA.
Example 5: sBCMA does not compromise BCMA-CAR T-cell function against ATRA-treated myeloma cells
It is well established that the extracellular portion of membrane-bound BCMA can be shed from myeloma cells to release a shorter, soluble BCMA (sBCMA) protein isoform26’ 27. The inventors measured sBCMA and in the supernatants of MM.1S and OPM-2 myeloma cells that had been treated with ATRA for 72 hours and obtained similar values as in the corresponding non-treated cell lines (Fig. 19). Notably, the concentration of sBCMA in conditioned medium of ATRA-treated or untreated MM.1S and OPM-2 myeloma cells was higher than in serum from myeloma patients (Fig. 20). The inventors analyzed the cytolytic activity of BCMA-CAR T-cells in fresh or sBCMA-containing medium and observed similarly potent cytolytic activity against MM.1S or K562/BCMA target cells at all effector to target cell ratios and time points (Fig. 21). These data show that ATRA treatment does not accelerate the release of sBCMA from myeloma cells and that the increased reactivity of the presently used BCMA- CAR T-cells against ATRA-treated myeloma cells is not diminished through interference from sBCMA.
Collectively, these data demonstrate that ATRA induces increased BCMA expression in primary myeloma cells and myeloma cell lines, and enables enhanced reactivity of BCMA-CAR T-cells in vitro and in vivo. These data encourage the investigation of BCMA-CAR T-cells and other BCMA-directed immunotherapies in combination with ATRA. This effect can be potentiated by combining ATRA with a GSI.
Ongoing clinical trials with BCMA-CAR T-cells have shown first promising results in MM patients, raising high expectations in this treatment strategy16· 19. Flowever, despite high initial response rates tumor eradication remained incomplete in some of the patients, the overall duration of response was short and there were case reports of relapses after BCMA downregulation or loss16· 17. This phenomenon has also been described in other CAR T-cell trials targeting CD19 and CD22. There is strong evidence that diminished antigen densities might be the mechanism of tumor escape from CAR-targeted therapies32- 35.
Furthermore, the baseline expression of BCMA can be low and non-uniform on MM cells, leading to the exclusion of patients from the treatment, or suboptimal response to the treatment16· 17. In accordance with previous reports, highly variable BCMA expression levels were found in MM samples36· 37. It was further observed that BCMA molecules are equally expressed on the surface of primary myeloma cells from ND and R/R MM patients, indicating that BCMA-CAR therapy is applicable for both disease conditions.
For these reasons, there is the need to enhance BCMA-CAR T-cell efficacy by increasing BCMA density on the surface of the target cells. It has been demonstrated that the retinoic acid receptor on MM cells plays an important role in the induction of CD38 expression by ATRA22· 38· 39. Therefore, it was hypothesized that ATRA could also upregulate other MM antigens than CD38, in particular BCMA.
Indeed, these data show that BCMA gene and surface expression was increased on all tumor cell lines and primary malignant plasma cells after ATRA-treatment. Importantly, this was also true for primary myeloma cells with low BCMA baseline expression. To verify this effect in vivo, MM.1S tumor-bearing NSG mice were injected with ATRA. Analysis of these MM.1S revealed a significant increase of BCMA expression after the ATRA treatment.
It was shown before, that an increase of BCMA surface expression on target cells leads to enhanced recognition by BCMA-CAR T-cells40. Enhanced anti-myeloma efficacy of BCMA-CAR T-cells after BCMA upregulation by ATRA treatment was confirmed. This synergistic effect between CAR T-cell therapy and ATRA could be used as strategy to counteract the outgrowth of antigen-low tumor cell clones, sustaining the therapeutic efficacy of BCMA-CAR T-cells. Furthermore, patients with low BCMA baseline expression could be treated with ATRA and then successfully with BCMA-CAR T-cells. Additionally, BCMA expression on tumor cells could be further enhanced by combining ATRA with GSI administration.
The inventors analyzed serum samples from MM patients for sBCMA and found a correlation between the concentration of soluble BCMA and the disease status. In line with previous reports, the serum sBCMA levels were higher among patients with progressive disease than in patients with a therapeutic response to immunomodulatory or proteasome inhibitor therapy, or low tumor burden27.
The inventors examined if treatment with ATRA also leads to increased sBCMA levels in the supernatant of myeloma cell lines. Despite significantly enhanced levels of membrane bound BCMA, they observed no rise of sBCMA in the supernatant of drug exposed cells. This leads to the conclusion that there is no immediate increase in ectodomain shedding after expressing more membrane-bound molecules.
Nevertheless, the inventors wanted to know whether sBCMA could abrogate the anti-myeloma function of these BCMA-CAR T-cells in principle. Therefore, they tested CAR T-cell functionality in the presence of up to 150 ng/ml sBCMA, which is about ten times the average concentration the inventors observed in the serum of patients with progressive disease. Even with this high concentration the inventors could not find sBCMA having a negative impact on the cytolytic activity of these BCMA-CAR T-cells.
There are divergent prior reports on the impact of sBCMA on BCMA-CAR T-cells. M.J. Pont et al. reported that CAR T-cell cytokine release and proliferation are impaired by even low levels of 10 ng/ml sBCMA and cytotoxicity at high sBCMA levels of at least 100 ng/ml40. On the other hand, the groups of R.O. Carpenter et al and K.M. Friedman et al. found that BCMA-CAR T-cells were highly efficient in MM xenograft mice, despite increased sBCMA serum levels of about 7 ng/ml37· 41. Furthermore, R.O. Carpenter et al. found that sBCMA with concentrations up to 150 ng/ml had no impact on CAR T-cell
cytokine release in vitro41. These different observations might be due to the use of different BCMA CARs, binding to distinct epitopes. Not all of these epitopes might be accessible in the soluble BCMA conformation.
In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the efficacy of BCMA-CAR T-cell therapy can be improved by up-regulation of antigen expression with ATRA. Therefore, according to the invention, retinoids such as ATRA can be used synergistically with BCMA-CAR T-cells in a clinical setting to increase response rates and extend duration of responses in ND and R/R myeloma. The use of a well-chosen CAR construct might reduce negative impacts by sBCMA molecules in the serum of patients. The effect of BCMA up-regulation and BCMA-CAR T-cell targeting is even greater when not only using ATRA, but a combination of ATRA and GSI.
